DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 10/15/2009 12:48 pm Poll Question So NGC sent me this slabbed "first day of issue" Washington $1. Honestly, this coin doesn't look very good, but does the "first day" thing add any value? I mean, like over a buck? I've mulled over my options, which include: Poll Choices Keep as a "gift" for somebody--is this a "nice gift"? Break out the thing and spend it Sell on ebay as "first day of issue" Sell here on CC (I wouldn't) Keep as "consolation prize" in future contest Edited by DVCollector 10/15/2009 12:52 pm Report this Post to the Staff

trdhrdr007 Pillar of the Community United States 2335 Posts	Posted 10/15/2009 1:05 pm Was this a promo type deal? When David G Lawrence started their service they gave out samples if you emailed. I'm into free so I emailed, scored one of the State Quarters in a sample slab. Report this Post to the Staff

Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 10/15/2009 2:08 pm wow when I joined I got a 1994 ASE actually graded MS-68 (which looks awful good for a 68) and said 2005 Collectors Society on the label (the year I joined). I think I would much rather have the ASE Dollar coins than those ugly dollars they are giving out now Report this Post to the Staff

hippiebrian Valued Member United States 436 Posts	Posted 10/15/2009 10:45 pm Might be cool to give to a kid at a coin club meeting! If there are several of them, maybe a contest, like who can answer xxx? Just an idea... Report this Post to the Staff

cownas22 Pillar of the Community United States 1055 Posts	Posted 10/15/2009 11:13 pm I might save it as 2nd or 3rd prize for a forum contest in the future. Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 10/15/2009 11:36 pm Then I'll put it on ebay as "Smashed First day of Issue". Here I'm referring to an older thread. Report this Post to the Staff

Electric_Op_Ltd Valued Member United States 183 Posts	Posted 10/16/2009 07:10 am Hey DV - "smashed first day of issue" sounds like the aftermath of my college graduation !! Well if you like it keep it. If not, any takers over a dollar (plus shiping?) should be engaged. Report this Post to the Staff
